Clerc-Milon 2005 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Encompassing 41 hectares of vineyards in the northeastern part of Pauillac, Château Clerc Milon occupies a position between the Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild estates, situated atop a crest with a commanding view of the Gironde estuary. The soil composition consists of sandy clay overlaying a base of clay-limestone, and the gentle slope aids in effective drainage. On the standout 2005. "This is an impressive and dynamic 2005 with blackcurrant, sweet-tobacco and raw-meat aromas that follow through to a full body with wonderful fruit complexity and succulent tannins. It’s a joy to drink now, but will continue to improve for decades ahead. One of the best ever." James Suckling, 2018
